----------------
- If a package isn't found, it sometimes only is a matter of a missing
``*.egg-info`` file. Like ubuntu, that misses the egg-info file for mapnik,
even though mapnik itself is installed.
We now attempt to import such a package (simply using the package name) and
use the directory it is installed in, if found. Note: the package name might
not be a valid import name. Support might have to be added for corner cases.
